In "Liber Abaci", Leonardo Pisano describes a series of numbers where each number after 0 and 1 is the sum of the two previous numbers. So, the series consists of 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, and so on to infinity. In the Fibonacci number series, each number is approximately 1.618 times larger than the previous number.

In mathematics, the number 1.618 is also called Phi, or the Golden Ratio; while the opposite is 0.618. The Golden Ratio is said to appear mysteriously in the structure of natural phenomena, architectural and artistic masterpieces, as well as in the biological sciences. Among them are Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa painting, Katsushika Hokusai's The Great Wave Off Kanagawa, the Parthenon (Greece) temple, sunflowers, snail shells, human faces, and even the circle of galaxies in outer space. Many artists consider the Golden Ratio to represent a certain harmony that causes something to be seen as beautiful.

To draw Fibonacci Retracement, we have to mark the highest price point (High) or the lowest price (Low) on the chart within a certain time period. It seems easy, but it is actually highly dependent on your sensitivity and trading setup.  As such, we can limit it to the length of the last few candles. For example, the last 60 candles are marked with a gold vertical line in the chart. Thus, we only need to take into account the highs and lows of the last 60 candles on the rightmost side of the chart.

Please take note: the correct path to draw Fibonacci Retracement is from left to right; so the retracement direction can be either from top to bottom (Downtrend) or from bottom to top (Uptrend).

Generally, traders use Fibonacci patterns to find the retracement of the current trend. Price movements in the forex market dynamically tend to "bounce" (retrace) from the Fibonacci lines, where these lines represent certain price levels that market participants always monitor before they trade. The stages are divided into the following series of numbers:

  1. Retracements: 0, 0.23, 0.38, 0.5, 0.61, 0.78
  2. Extensions: 1.27 and 1.61

If the trend is relatively strong because it is driven by certain high impact events, the price will dash through the retracement limit and is likely to experience a reversal after hitting the limit on the extension line.
